Aftermarket gauges and senders

[beetos]

I am not using the stock coolant temp sender on my car as I ran a haltech with a coolant sender installed in a different location. I was wanting to install an aftermarket temperature gauge from VDO and there a number of thread options for the sender from 1/4 NPT up to M16 metric. I was wondering if anyone knew what threads the stock sensor has so I can try get an aftermarket equivalent sender.

Also, can anyone offer advice as to where to fit oil pressure and temperature sensors? My car has the factoy oil cooler.

Many thanks

oil temp can be gotten with a special oil drain plug and pressure and be gotten from the stock port on the head, if you want to keep the dummy light and avoid the warning from the obc get a T and screw the stock sender into one side and your sender to the other
